Domestic Over 200 bay leaves Sizes vary. These are pesticide-free bay leaves. The leaves turn brown as they dry, but the aroma remains unchanged. They are usable. Because they are pesticide-free, some may have insect bites or be misshapen. Please understand. For cooking: curry, stew, nikujaga (meat and potato stew). For those who like the aroma: miso soup. When powdered, they can be used in hamburgers, etc. The bay leaves will be picked from the branch after purchase. Thank you for your understanding.
